Vikram Prabhu has ventured into production through Neruppuda, and their promotions promised to talk about the hardships and lifestyle of the firemen. The film’s title created curiosity among the people, for the fact that, Neruppuda is the chartbuster theme song from Superstar Rajinikanth’s Kabali.

 

Guru (Vikram Prabhu), and his four friends, who, at any cost wouldn’t separate from each other, aspire to become firefighters, and they work towards that goal. On the eve of their fire service entrance examination, the five friends face an unexpected hurdle, which leads them to various dangerous routes. As a result, they don’t write the exam and miss the opportunity to become firefighters that year. What problem do they encounter and how do they come out of it? And, do they become firefighters finally?

 

Vikram Prabhu has delivered a convincing performance for the fireman character. Nikki Galrani’s introduction scene gives you a belief that she might have a meaty role, but at the end, it is not. Our filmmakers are trying to execute humour through Motta Rajendran’s body language and dialogue delivery, but unfortunately, it looks force-fitted and unwanted. Also, his characterisation isn’t clear by any means. Is he funny, or helpful, or crazy, or genuinely good-hearted?. You are puzzled. Ponvannan, as a caring father, has done his part well. Sangeetha has taken up a very bold role in this film, but it didn’t create an impact, and rather it was a letdown.

 

Though all the five friends travel together all through the film, the friendship lacks life and the real human emotions. The basic premise of Neruppuda is interesting, but during the course of the film, it takes the usual commercial formula route. In the end, when you look back through the film, you will find that this film is also a regular mainstream film dealing with a vengeance. Had the execution been better, at least, that revenge fight between the protagonist and antagonist would’ve satisfied the audience. There is this problem with Neruppuda, where, everyone except the hero is weak. It is always a one-sided game, and we don’t get to see any exciting, nail-biting action blocks.

 

The opening firefighting sequence and the pre-interval scene (untying the villain’s knot) are a few highlights in the film. One might feel, there could have been more firefighting scenes in the film. The first half of the film was decent, but the issue pops up only during the second half, and especially the last twenty minutes. The last twenty minutes is no way connected to the film’s core plot, and it looks as if the portion was kept just to earn some empathy for that character. It was too loud. 

 

R.D.Rajasekar’s visuals are neat and composed, and probably, one of the saviours of the film is the visuals. Aalangiliye song is hummable and pleasant, but Sean Roldan’s background score isn’t powerful and intensifying. Had Ashok Kumar decided to travel through the life of a fireman and showcasing about his day-to-day experiences, induced with commercial elements, we would have got an entertaining action thriller.

SONGS REVIEW

Review by : Behindwoods Review Board
Album Release Date : Apr 10,2017

Aalangiliyae
Singers : Sean Roldan, Shweta Mohan
Lyricist : Yuga Bharathi

 

Aalangiliyae is all about Sean Roldan’s husky voice complimented by Shweta’s sweet vocals and some mature usage of instruments and beats. Percussions like Tabla and Darbuka add the pep required for the melody that has beautiful strings and flute. With a hummable tune and well paced rhythm, this song is a melody lovers’ delight.


Karukku Kallangolu
Singer : Anirudh Ravichander
Lyricist : G. Rokesh

Sung by Anirudh, it is a fun filled energy number. Anirudh croons at his usual best. The beat which teases us with it’s variations is very attractive. It forms the backbone for the folk number which has a lot of guitar too giving it the rock flavour. A multi layered song with commendable backing vocals and Nadhaswaram from Sean Roldan.


Andha Maadiri Ponna 
Singer : Ravi G
Lyricist : G. Rokesh

 

Andha Maadiri Ponna has been composed for the usual situation of a guy falling for a girl. However, it has been handled slightly differently with some funky music and vocals. Ravi G sounds good but G Rokesh does not have have too much to do with the lyrics section which has minimal use of new words. But where the song differs again is the use of instruments by the composer. Dholak, strings and flute save the otherwise not so mesmerizing song.

 

Enga Pona 
Singer : Sean Roldan
Lyricist : Sean Roldan

 

Sean Roldan has composed, written and sung this melancholy number, Enga Pona. It has his soulful voice as it’s mainstay. His huskiness never fails to impress but with the way listeners have fallen for his voice, they will only demand more from the composer. Enga Pona follows a simple tune with minimal use of guitar and strings. Very situational for Neruppu Da by composer Sean.


Iruda Poruda 
Vocals & Rap : Blaaze
Lyricist : G. Rokesh

 

A try at the proper rock genre with rap vocals by the talented composer. Blaaze is back with his rap portions. Sounding more like a theme song, it has trumpets and guitar usage. However, with melody being Sean’s forte, this rock based rap song misses to get the catch of the listener.

 

Verdict: Sean Roldan stirs soul with his voice and composing.
( 2.75 / 5.0 )
